Question

Adam and Brianna plan to install a new tile floor in a classroom. Adam works at a constant rate of 50 tiles per hour, and Brianna works at a constant rate of 55 tiles per hour. If the new floor consists of exactly 1400 tiles, how long will it take Adam and Brianna working together to complete the classroom floor?

Answer 1

Answer:

t≅13.33h

Step-by-step explanation:

Adam (A) works at constant rate of 50tiles/h

Briana (B) works at constant rate of 55tiles/h, this means that A=50 tiles per hour and B=55 tiles per hour, then A+B = 105tiles/h together, but the floor consists of 1400tiles, so if 105 tiles are installed in one hour, then 1400 tiles in how long they will be installed?

t = 1400tiles*h/105tiles≅ 13.33 h
